At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world better. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking a Full Stack Data Scientist to join the Business Transformation organization in support of modernizing how BDS operates through artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced digital capabilities. This role will help build and scale the technical foundations that enable secure, reliable, and production-ready AI/ML solutions across the enterprise.

This position is ideal for a data scientist who brings a blend of data science, data engineering, MLOps, platform engineering, DevOps, and site reliability engineering (SRE) experience. The selected candidate will help design, implement, secure, and operate the infrastructure and platform services that support data pipelines, model training, model deployment, observability, and AI application delivery. The role will work across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based environments, with a strong emphasis on enterprise-grade security, resiliency, traceability, and operational excellence.

The full stack data scientist in this role will partner closely with data scientists, software engineers, data engineers, cybersecurity teams, infrastructure teams, and business stakeholders to accelerate adoption of AI/ML capabilities within BDS. This includes enabling both traditional machine learning workflows and emerging generative AI use cases, including support for on-premises model serving, retrieval-augmented generation architectures, and modern model lifecycle management practices. The role requires strong systems thinking and the ability to translate business and mission needs into scalable platform solutions.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute both strategically and hands-on. They will help define best practices, build reusable patterns, automate infrastructure and delivery workflows, improve platform reliability, and support secure deployment of mission-relevant AI/ML systems. Depending on level, this role may also provide technical leadership, influence architecture decisions, and mentor other data scientists across the organization.

This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of AI/ML enablement within Boeing BDS by building the secure and modern technical ecosystem needed to support transformation at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, deploy, and operate secure, scalable AI/ML platform capabilities for Boeing BDS users and programs
Develop and maintain data pipelines, workflow orchestration solutions, and data integration services that support analytics and machine learning use cases
Build and support MLOps workflows for model training, experiment tracking, model registry, deployment, inference, monitoring, and lifecycle management
Engineer and operate infrastructure for traditional machine learning and generative AI workloads, including on-premises and hybrid model serving environments
Deploy, administer, and optimize containerized applications and platform services using Kubernetes and associated ecosystem tools
Create and maintain Helm charts, deployment templates, automation scripts, and reusable platform patterns for AI/ML applications
Implement CI/CD and GitOps workflows to support secure, repeatable, and observable software and model delivery processes
Configure and support observability capabilities including metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting, and reliability reporting
Apply DevSecOps principles across application and infrastructure delivery, including certificate management, secrets handling, access control, least privilege, and defense-in-depth controls
Support administration and integration of data storage technologies including relational, NoSQL, search, graph, object, and vector data platforms
Build and maintain secure container images and software supply chain controls, including vulnerability scanning and artifact management
Collaborate with data scientists and application teams to productionize models, improve runtime performance, and reduce friction in AI/ML development workflows
Troubleshoot complex platform, data, networking, deployment, and performance issues across distributed environments
Develop infrastructure-as-code and automation solutions to provision, configure, and manage platform resources
Contribute to architecture decisions, platform standards, technical documentation, operational runbooks, and engineering best practices
Support incident response, root cause analysis, reliability improvement efforts, and continuous service optimization
